REGROUPEX 17 - USS WILLIAM H. BATES shipmates in Orlando, FL.

The clock is ticking on our next Bates reunion - LAS VEGAS 25 - 29 days, 1 hour and 21 minutes, according to the countdown timer on the coldwarboats.org website. 

If you have already RSVP’d as “GOING”, now is the time to purchase your tickets - $35 for a single, $50 for a couple - to help defray the cost of our hospitality suite and light refreshments for the duration - room and meals not included. 

You can pay on the website: HOMEPORT >> SOCIAL ACTIVITY >> REUNION INFO >> REUNION PAYMENT (click the link). If you would rather pay by check or cash, by mail, or at the door, contact me and let me know.

It is important that you have RSVP’d or contacted me directly so we have an accurate count!

Don’t forget your room reservations - there is a group of rooms set aside for us, but without your reservation, they will not be held.

If you are still on the fence about going, now’s the time to commit! 

To help influence your decision, here is the list of RSVPs that we expect to see in Las Vegas.
